Chapter 3:

My head whizzed around to face Bella, as her scent sunk into me. I crouched forward, out of instinct. Edward, one of them introduced before, crouched low in the same stance as I did. It was like looking into a mirror. The same positioning, same facial expression. A low but dangerous snarl erupted from somewhere in the back of his throat. I didn't attack, but I didn't retreat either.

"What's this?" Laurent asked somewhere from behind me.

"She's with us" I heard Carlisle respond stiffly.

"You brought a snack?" I heard Laurent step forward closer to Bella.

"I said she's with us" Carlisle repeated in a cold voice.

"But she's human." Laurent stressed the last word.

Yes, I thought. She's human.

"Yes." Carlisle's voice had lost a bit of it's edge, but I could still sense the hard tone. I slowly eased out of my crouch, never taking my eyes of Bella in the process. I repeated the word to myself inwardly. Human.

Edward, her protector it seemed, never left his crouch position on the ground.

Then Laurent spoke again. This time his voice more soothing. "It seems we have a lot to learn about each other."

Carlisle's voice was still cool and warning. "Indeed."

"But we'd like to accept your invitation. And, of course, we will not harm the human girl. We won't hunt on your range, as said."

I glanced at Laurent in frustration. But, she's human. I said the words to myself knowingly, as if I had telepathic powers that could someone send the message to Laurent. He didn't see my message at all. Not even in my face expressions.

Carlisle waited before he responded to Laurent's statement. "We'll show you the way. Jasper, Rosalie, Esme?" they gathered around Bella immediately, blocking her from view. I almost hissed in frustration. Emmett, the brawn one, did not drop my gaze as they retreated.

With my hearing, I heard a muffled "let's go Bella" and then they were gone.
